Has My 2.5 Year Old Ioniq 5 Stood the Test of Time?

[@shep64]

My 2022 Ioniq 5 SE digital teal has held up well also. Only issue was the ICCU recall (took 2 days to replace) and the slight lower adjustment to level 2 charging (home charging 95% of time). I’m almost 70 years old and this is the best vehicle I’ve ever owned. Thanks for your videos and keeping our owner group informed! Looking forward to charging on the Tesla supercharger network ❤

[@quavuva]

Got a 22 SEL RWD used off Carvana to replace an old RAV4. Had it for about 5k miles and love it so far!

[@erikruggels9177]

Nice! 2.5 years with my limited too! The only issue I’ve had is the trim on the front of the steering wheel shield between the buttons and wheel cracking in one space, I’ll follow up with the dealer soon, it’s been the best ownership experience I’ve had!

[@michaellippmann4474]

Great info Corbin. Our 2022 Ultimate AWD Digital Grey is one of the best cars we've ever owned. We bought it as a dealer demo June 29 2023 and it had 9000km on the clock. As of today we are at 59,500km and no issues...knock on wood. No rattles, no battery problem...no service visits to fix anything. Hopefully this continues. We had concerns about the white interior but it is fine. Cheers Mike and Ally 🇨🇦

[@MartysRandomStuff]

Nice to see the white interior holding up, it is my biggest worry on mine, especially the door pull area being all white. I had a bit of color transfer from jeans in the first month, but it cleaned off easily and hasn't come back.

[@Dunc1961]

Getting my ioniq 5 namsan next month and been following you from the UK for a few months thank you, you have been very helpful and informative in your videos.

[@dianewallace6064]

Your Ioniq 5 looks great. We both have the low trim SE Ioniq 6 cloth seats now. Thank you for the content.

[@BillyCravens]

I have a sibling to yours, 2022 EV6 Wind AWD. 21 months of ownership and about 36k miles. I just replaced the 12v battery which has been flaking for a couple of months. The paint is terrible: so many chips have formed, and the official Kia touch up paint doesn’t even match 😂 Aside from those issues, it’s still the best car I’ve owned.

[@Cedar1956]

Is your vehicle Glacier by chance? Mine is, and I've never had such mismatched touch up paint.

[@BillyCravens]

@@Cedar1956 no Gravity Blue. From a distance everyone thinks it’s black (the touch up paint actually looks like what I expect it to look like)

[@COSolar6419]

Our Ioniq 5 SE AWD is the same age and everything has held up very well. It has been as durable as the Subarus and Toyotas we’ve owned. We did replace the OEM Michelin tires at 25,000 miles. That isn’t good but I hope the replacements do better. Otherwise the only issues have been a faulty USB PORT that was finally replaced under warranty and a mystery issue with the driver side window. In the past few months it will open on its own. Usually just once or twice but occasionally it keeps doing 8 to 12 times and even worse it won’t always close afterwards. Dealer thought they fixed but it is still happening occasionally. Overall we’re very happy with the Ioniq 5.

[@Irvin_Wright]

Shouldn't that rust spot be covered under warranty?

[@Paul-lp7zp]

Probably not. Coverage would be for perforation anyway.

[@matthewliuliu666]

I have 2023 ioniq 5 sel and 2024 ioniq 6 sel, I love the exterior of ioniq 5, but after I drove ioniq 6 for about 3 months now, like it more and more, right now to me, they all have their own advantages, don’t know how I will choose if I can only choose one of them

[@matthewliuliu666]

Which car are you gonna get ? I hope it is not some shit car like id4

[@superbear617]

Nice video! I am glad your Ioniq5 has held up so well.....like it should, right?? (still, it is nice when that happens, and you took great care of it, too). This is my "dream car" except for the lack of rear wiper. It's coming!!

[@superbear617]

Forgot to say: Yes, your car color is amazing! Definitely my first and only choice.

[@somecallmetimelderberries432]

Thanks for the video, looking to upgrade from my 2017 Bolt EV to an Ioniq 5. What are you planning for your next car?

[@johnamrich2713]

I have a 2023 IONIC 5 Limited with 44K miles. ISSUE WITH FRONT END/WHEEL VIBRATION: Periodically between 50 to 70 MPH. Front tires have 20K miles and were must rebalanced, after new rear tires purchased. Rear tires new and rebalanced too, after installed by another tire place. It does not happen every-time I drive over 50 mph. I once drove 35 miles on highway and on my return after 1 1/2 hrs parked, I got back on highway after 10 min back roads and once I reached 50 mph the front end and tires were shaking like my tires were out of balance. Once traffic allowed I got below 50 mph and after doing below 50 mph twice, then on the third time I got above 50 mph, the tire and front end vibration stopped. Just checking if anyone has experienced this issue on their IONIC 5 Limited. JOHN

[@brandonpasanen8408]

What has the regular maintenance picture looked like for this car over the years?

[@adams2836]

Can you fit a rear facing car seat and two adults in the back seat?

[@eli_d]

Did you ever find the part number for that paint pen for the painted silver plastic? Looking to touch up mine as well!

[@denislemenoir]

Anyone having issue with the rubber door trim coming loose?

[@kimballwhite]

I’m sure you were upset about that adapter smashing into the car. I feel you on that. 😅

[@sprockkets]

Just had to replace my battery...in my kia soul from 2017. Heck, the battery was dead on the lot when I got it. Discovered it has an agm battery from the factory. Crazy that it came with one but not egmp stuff.

[@Yanquetino]

Dab that small spot on the rear with a bit of touch up paint. I'm glad your hitch is holding up well; I intend to install a "stealth" version. I can imagine what you uttered when you made the dent with an adapter. Argh. It seems like micro chips on the front are inevitable; I had a clear bra installed to help thwart them at least a little bit. You've encouraged me to project that mine should hold up well over time.

[@justinb4368]

how the heck do you get the lights to shutter like that??

[@TheIoniqGuy]

It’s just a trick of the camera and the shutter speed compared to the LED light’s frequency

[@KenCurry-sm4qz]

Hi Corbin, enjoy your Chanel. I have a 2023 5 now at one year. Only problem I am having is with the cruise system. In heavy rain or fog. The system shuts down. I have pulled over to the side of the road, wiped off the front camera and the side radar. The system then started but immediately stopped again after every thing dried it then started working this has happened twice now. Dealership has no answers. Have you or anyone else had this problem?

[@verbils]

Our 2022 5 does the same thing - as it is supposed to do. If it can’t see clearly, it will not run in cruise mode. Neither will my Subaru Impreza - for the same reason. It is not a flaw.

[@Tha1NOnly1]

Hey, since you have had your car for 2 1/2 years, I thought I asked you this question. Is there a way to unlock the doors or at least the driver door in the event that the car loses power in other words is there a mechanical way to get out of your car. Now I know how to get in, but how to get out if you’re stuck inside.

[@TheIoniqGuy]

The doors are mechanical so there’s nothing electrically related that would lock you out except in the backseats if you have children locks activated

[@TheIoniqGuy]

[@Tha1NOnly1]

@@TheIoniqGuy duh that’s why I couldn’t find any information on it. I was here thinking that they were electrically opened, but this solves my concern thank you so much.

[@TheIoniqGuy]

No problem. It's a valid question. I just drove an ID.4 for multiple days and it has electrically actuated doors.

[@gw7231]

The biggest problem: car resale value 1/2 of buying price. How can that be with a low mileage 1 1/2 year old car in excellent condition? Mine is 1 1/2 years old. It’s in excellent condition with very low mileage . Really love car but long distant charging is a hassle. Many chargers out of order. Unfortunately this has caused me to consider a hybrid. When I started looking at hybrids I was getting trade in offers 1/2 the original value. Until Hyundai can charge at Tesla Superchargers I would not buy another one.

[@mwmeagher8917]

Love my 2024 Ionic 5, never going back. HOWEVER. In the last two weeks I’ve had to replace 3/4 tires due to the sound reducing foam pulling away from the interior of the tires. These things are $500 each, which I did not have to pay for. The dealer says they’ve seen a few of these issues. Anyone else?

[@RandyGleason]

I had that issue with one tire so far.

[@Molishious]

Apart from the damage caused by the 3m tape for the carbon fiber add on for the door, there is nothing here that I’d worry about, so this is encouraging to me. I don’t mind a car getting older and having some minor imperfections. I can see my dog doing some damage to the doors, but we’ll see. Maybe the 2025 will be sturdier.

[@jhonn475]

What level tint do you have on the front, and rear windows? And on the front windshield?

[@TheIoniqGuy]

Nothing on the windshield and I believe the front windows are 27-30%, I can't remember exactly.

[@lindajauron-mills3109]

Are they still doing the 2 year free charging with the new cars?

[@TheIoniqGuy]

Yes but 2024 is supposed to be the last year they offer it

[@messy113]

hi @Ioniq Guy....Any chance of you exploring the srength of relationships between Hyundai dealers and corporate/central tech? From where I sit, it seems strained at best, at least taxed, or at worst underfunded and undersupported. Please share any thoughts here or on YT. Thank you for your efforts.

[@brandonpasanen8408]

What are the thoughts on leasing vs financing an EV?

[@TheIoniqGuy]

I think leasing is the way to go. You know your depreciation going into it. If you finance unless you’re putting a significant amount down you’ll likely be upside down

Looks like wear and tear to me. My Ioniq(classic 28kWh) that I leased for 5yrs about 3 weeks before I was to sell it some moron decided to fling their door into mine and rear passenger door had a small paint chip so could see this white dot. Had a darker blue colour on the car so rather obvious. I didn't worry about it and was happy with the price the buyer gave me for my car and now the car one of his kids uses and loves it.

How many miles were on it if you don't mind me asking, and did it have any warranty left or extended warranty offered for that price? I'm comparing the 2022 SEL IONIQ 5 choice right now VS applying the 4K credit towards a 2023 KIA NIRO Wind Trim when it becomes eligible 1 January 2025, where I think I can get one for 18K if the strong deprecation in EV's and cars continues and it probably will, due to lack of awareness still from the general public on how great EV's are VS ICE.

Why do you want to get rid of the car? Seems perfectly fine to keep using.

[@Cory69]

the new model is coming out 2025 refresh

[@Molishious]

He’s a professional KZbinr so he needs new content. It’s a business decision that makes a lot of sense. The only content he can get out of his current car is videos like this where he can talk about how well it is aging. The refresh is fairly substantial as it has lots of little things but also a larger battery so that means range test videos. Maybe even a whole video on the rear wiper. : ) It also has a new system for the infotainment, so there will be a lot new things to cover there as well.

[@TheIoniqGuy]

Well put!

[@volcalstone]

Yeah if he wasn't on YT he would probably be keeping it longer. Is it worth the refresh? Not really unless you could really get a great deal on it. A rear wiper shouldn't cost you a $10K-20K difference. 😅

That's just stupid US used market value logic! Makes no sense to drop that much in no time! In Europe a used 1.5 year old Ioniq 5 limited is still around 45k€ when it was 60k€ new. The US Market value will shift soon, when more people realize how much better and cheaper EVs are to run. I think! I mean if a used 3 month old Ioniq 5 cost 25k$ now. I can't believe they would get sold in immidiatly. I would surely buy one in a heartbeat!
